JD and Justin break down the WILD start to Oklahoma City's 2025-26 season. First we make sense of the double OT thriller against the Indiana Pacers. A shorthanded OKC escapes Indianapolis with a W behind a new career-high 55 points from SGA, and a new career high for Ajay Mitchell. Then we rewind to ring night and the season opener against the Rockets. We look at Chet's huge start, SGA's late game brilliance, KD's Chris Webber moment and so much more.
